(duration of task : 2 weeks)
Problem No 1
a) Please explain about Terzaghi’s Bearing Capacity Equation
b) Please explain about Meyerhof’s Bearing Capacity Equation
c) Please explain about Hansen’s Bearing Capacity Equation.
Problem No 2
A square foundation is B x B m in
plan. The soil supporting the
foundation has a friction angle of
and c. The unit weight of soil and
saturated unit weight of soil sat.
Assume that the depth of foundation
is Df and that general shear failure
occurs in the soil.
B = 1.5, 1.75, 2.0 m,
= 20o, 22o, 24o,
c = 14, 15, 16 kN/m2.
= 17.2, 17.4, 17.6 kN/m3
and sat = 19 kN/m3.
Df = 1, 1.25, 1.5 m
Determine the allowable gross load on the foundation with a factor of safety (FS) of 4
using Terzaghi’s Bearing Capacity Equation, if:
a) The ground water table is located in Case II with d = 10m.
b) The ground water table is located in Case II with d = 1m
c) The ground water table is located in Case I with D1 = 0.5m
